paulataua's review against another edition
5.0
The blurbs tell you this a collection of stories about the Sri Lankan civil war and the effect of the war on people, but nothing could be further from the truth. The war is in there somewhere in the background, but these stories are about complicated people in difficult situations. The stories are powerful and important. It is not very often that you find a new writer who is both fresh and exciting. Hasanthika Sirisena is one such writer. A big five stars.
